I love helping people get where they want to go - whether that is to a place of more personal peace or happiness or to a place of greater family harmony or to a place just beyond their dreams! I use holistic interventions that address any blocks to success: in the spiritual realm, the mental realm, the emotional realm and the physical realm. Just "talking" is rarely enough to effect deep, transformational and lasting change; mind-body therapies take you to another level. I've made it my business to learn many types of therapeutic interventions because therapy is not a one-size-fits-all sort of business. Different approaches work best with different people and different issues.
In addition to my practice in traditional and innovative psychology, I also practice Bach Flower Therapy - a natural, harmless and healthy form of vibrational medicine that gently eases every form of emotional disharmony. Bach Flower Remedies are little jars of flower-water (safe enough for pregnant women and newborn babies!) that can help melt away anger, despair, grief and fear - and every other form of upset or distress. Instead of blocking feelings (the way psychotropic medication might), the Bach Remedies can effect a profound healing. Every member of the family can use the remedies to become more stress-resistant and healthier on every level.
My special interest is in parenting. I've written a book (look it up on Amazon!) called
Raise Your Kids without Raising Your Voice. I offer a skill set that anyone can learn that will remove tension, anger and hurt from family life. This skill set allows the love that we have in our hearts to be directly experienced by those we care most about. Good parenting and good marriage-ing go together: our kids live and breathe our marriages so we need to make sure that our couple relationships are full of fresh air and sunshine with a minimum of cloudy days!
I've been helping people for 30 years. I've been married for even longer than that. I have six kids of my own and a few grandchildren now as well.
I've learned this: a person can drown in choppy waters when he or she doesn't know how to swim but there's joy to be had in the same ocean once a person acquires the skill to stay afloat. Therapy can help us live our best life. It's one of the greatest gifts of our time.
And by the way, I'm a registered member of the College of Psychologists of Ontario, which means that your private health insurance may cover a portion of the costs of therapy.
I really look forward to meeting you.
